Homes such as this, in close proximity to both Wauchope and Port Macquarie, yet feel like a country retreat, are hard to find.
Once you’re settled on the large back deck overlooking the duck pond and expansive gardens, which ramble down to Sarahs Creek, the feeling of serenity and seclusion is mesmerising.
Inside, the home offers all the creature comforts you could dream of including a large upstairs area which serves as a teenage retreat, studio, media room, guest quarters or study.
The downstairs rooms adhere to the home’s semi-formal design, which is reflected in the outside presentation.
Reminiscent of an English manor, the exterior features remote entry gates, stencilled paths and driveway, hedging and attic windows.
Upon entry, you’re greeted with large, carpeted dining and formal lounge rooms.
These areas lead to the open plan kitchen, dining and living rooms which are refreshingly light-filled and thoughtfully designed.
Wine lovers will also appreciate the impressive cellar off the living room.
The contemporary kitchen is both spacious and functional, with a large walk-in pantry and modern appliances, while the laundry sits just behind and boasts ample storage space.
The owners say the home was built (in 2006) with their grandchildren in mind, and would be ideal for large families.
It would also appeal to handymen and tinkerers, with a garden shed at the side featuring a workshop with power connected.
Each of the four bedrooms include ample built-in robes, ceiling fans and views of the well-maintained grounds and strategic hedging - all of which are easily cared for by the in-built irrigation system.
The main is particularly impressive, with a large ensuite, and a row of windows allowing views of the dam and surrounding gardens.
A large corner bath is the star of the main bathroom, which is completed in a neutral colour scheme echoed throughout the home.
In summer, your comfort is assured by ducted air conditioning, while the combustion fireplace offers warmth in the cooler months.
The owners say what they will miss most is the feeling of “escape” this home offers.
The design, established gardens and aspect all contribute to its peace and tranquility.
Many days and lazy summer nights will be spent on the large deck, which spills off the main living areas, and sits atop a large water tank which serves the toilets and laundry.
The breeze which comes off the creek in the afternoon is an added bonus.
You’ll probably be joined by the local kangaroos, wildlife and birds attracted to the large dam in the back corner of the property.
